One more day of working at the pond. We planted another 100 trees, moved rock, planted raspberries, blackberries, day lillies, russian sage and 100 purple lilac. We finished the structure in the main pond. Grass seed from 2 weeks ago is up and growing. Need to put down another 100 pounds or so.

Electrician will be out today to hook up metering base and well. I really, really hope to start filling this weekend

Excavator has not returned calls for over a month. Still owe him 10K as last payment but there are about 4 hours of work to finish project. I am done waiting. I contacted another company to come in and finish. I will subtract what I pay them from his final bill.

Pushing forward. Soon I might have to change my signature.

What fun!!!
